About

I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 2020 with a Master’s degree in

film production, specialising in Production Design. I then worked steadily as Art

Department Assistant within the Art Departments for ITV’s Grantchester, BBC’s

Killing Eve and Netflix drama Damage. In these roles I undertook a lot of draughting

for smaller construction elements on location; plugs, cover ups and location

enhancements. I was also responsible for managing these locations and overseeing

construction on the instalments. In my role as Assistant Art Director on Better Man

(UK Shoot) I was draughting for all the construction elements, many of which were

large scale covers and plugs for shop fronts on London’s Regent Street. I have since

honed these skills during my time on Back To Black, The Amy Winehouse Biopic.
